Q4.16. Imagine a community with a single predator, two herbivores, and five primary producers
( 8 species total). How many food web links are theoretically possible? That is, how many links
are possible if each species is able to feed on every species in the community? Q4.17. Imagine
again this hypothetical community with a single predator, two herbivores, and six primary
producers. Assume the following: (1) The predator is a pure carnivore, feeding on both herbivore
species but no plants. (2) Each herbivore species specializes on a single plant species. (This
means some plants are not consumed.) (3) The plant species do not feed on other organisms. (4)
There is no cannibalism. Use this information to calculate the connectance of the system. (Hint:
To answer this, you first need to calculate the number of links in this community, which is most
easily done if you sketch the food web.)
